Well, why not the Odyssey Engine? It's a bit old, sure, but the games that used it were the best!

I hope this game is amazing, because I feel spoiled by Dragon Age (the game that knocked The Witcher from its spot as my favorite RPG). It will certainly be nice to have 2 medieval-fantasy RPGs of such high quality though. =)

I feel spoiled by The Witcher when I play DA.

The Witcher looks massively better. The environment textures, controls and camera are terrible in DA compared to The Witcher.

Wasn't this canceled for consoles already? Or was that something different? It was called Rise of the White Wolf or something right? I thought that was Witcher 2

No, that was a console remaker of Witcher 1.

I'd buy it. The first one was actually pretty fun.

I'm curious if the PC/console versions will use the same battle system as the first game. The canned console port of The Witcher 1 was to use a fully real-time battle system like an action game.

I love how the second the presenter says "no filming, please", the guy just tips the camera on the side and keeps going.
Class!

The first one was my favorite RPG this decade.

This one looks so boss for sure. The 2 things it needed (a better combat system and mega huge monsters) are in here! Nice.

According to rpgcodex.net, The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf will still be made, though it may come after The Witcher 2. Hope that port comes to the PC, as I'd like to see the game with a fully real-time battle system.

I never played the first Witcher, should I pick it up before this new one comes out?

There are some very unique things in The Witcher that definitely make it a great game to play through. The alchemy system and mutagens were very cool.

@RKN

Yes, Rise of the White Wolf is only suspended, which RPG Codex actually got from the very same Polygamia article this post is based on, and which is linked from here. :)

The PC fanboy in me doesn't want Witcher 2 to come to consoles, nor Crysis 2. : (

I hope they pace things out a little better in this one. My only beef with the first one was how you could gain almost every skill before the game really went anywhere story-wise.
